Has anyone had adverse affects from JakaFi for PV
I am 74 years old, female. Three years ago diagnosed with PV After five phlebotomies I was told my platelets were too high to continue. Hematologist offered hydroxy…..I read about it and determined to self manage for as long as I oils keep numbers down.
I have fatigue and tiredness so have begun nappping on a daily basis. Makes me feel much better. Occasional headaches for which I take aspirin. I am now being pursued to take JakaFi for the high red and white cells. Again, upon exploring the side effects, I’m a bit hesitant in trying it. HAS ANYONE WITH PV TAKEN JAKAFI? Any side effects, comments to share. Thank you.
